A Message from Mark Cianca

I’m pleased to announce that we have achieved a significant milestone in transforming how we deliver human resource, benefits and payroll services to University of California employees. On January 2, we successfully deployed at Pilot locations UC Merced, UC Riverside and Associated Students of UCLA, making UCPath available to another 15,000 UC employees. We are providing onsite post go-live support at all Pilot locations, while we continue UCPath deployment work at remaining UC locations.

Late last month, UCPath governance approved a revised deployment schedule following UCLA’s deployment delay. UCLA and UC Santa Barbara will deploy UCPath next in September 2018. Work to cutover the remaining UC locations will take place over 2018 and 2019. By the end of 2019, UC and its more than 220,000 employees will reap the benefits of UCPath.

Successful UCPath deployment across all UC locations remains our top priority. We are excited about our Pilot go-live and look forward to sharing more updates about subsequent progress. We welcome your questions and suggestions.

Questions

What is UCPath?

UCPath is the University of California’s priority program to implement a single payroll, benefits, human resources and academic personnel solution for all UC employees.

UCPath will replace UC’s 35-year old Payroll/Personnel System (PPS) with a single new payroll and HR technology system, standardize and streamline payroll and HR processes systemwide, and centralize certain HR/APO and payroll transactional processes within the UCPath shared service center.

UCPath Deployment Sequence

With four locations fully in production and using UCPath for ongoing HR/payroll support, project teams continue to prepare for larger and more complex employee populations. The remaining UC locations will follow in subsequent deployments until UCPath is fully operational for UC employees at all campuses and medical centers. The next set of locations preparing to deploy UCPath are UCLA and UC Santa Barbara.
